Trade Structured Finance Program [Abstract]  
TRADE STRUCTURED FINANCE PROGRAM TRADE STRUCTURED FINANCE PROGRAM
The Company engages in various trade structured finance activities to leverage the value of its global trade flows. These activities include programs under which the Company generally obtains U.S. dollar and foreign currency-denominated letters of credit ("LCs") from financial institutions, each based on an underlying commodity trade flow, and time deposits denominated in U.S. dollars and foreign currencies, as well as foreign exchange forward contracts, in which trade related payables are set-off against receivables, all of which are subject to legally enforceable set-off agreements.
            As of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, time deposits and LCs of $9,031 million and $6,914 million, respectively, were presented net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as the criteria of ASC 210-20, Offsetting, had been met. Time deposits and LCs that do not meet the offsetting requirements under ASC 210-20 are reported on the condensed
consolidated balance sheet within Time deposits under trade structured finance program and Letter of credit obligations under trade structured finance program, respectively. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair values. The net losses and gains related to such activities are included as an adjustment to Cost of goods sold in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. At September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, time deposits, including those presented on a net basis, carried weighted-average interest rates of 3.94% and 5.22%, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, total net proceeds from discounting of LCs were $7,102 million and $5,200 million, respectively. These cash inflows were offset by the related cash outflows resulting from placement of the time deposits and repayment of the LCs. All cash flows related to the programs are included in operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
As part of the trade structured finance activities, LCs may be sold to financial institutions on a discounted basis. When the criteria in ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing, have been met, Bunge derecognizes the asset from our balance sheet. For LCs that do not meet the derecognition criteria, Bunge accounts for such transactions as secured borrowings within Other short-term debt. Additionally, Bunge does not service derecognized LCs. The terms of the sale may require the Company to continue to make periodic interest payments to financial institutions based on changes in the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") for a period of up to one year. Bunge’s payment obligation to financial institutions as part of the trade structured finance activities, reported in Other current liabilities, including any unrealized gain or loss on changes in SOFR, is not significant as of September 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024. The notional amounts of LCs subject to continuing variable interest payments that have been derecognized from the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024 are included in Note 12 - Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities. The net gain or loss included in Cost of goods sold resulting from the fair valuation of such variable interest rate obligations is not significant for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2025, and 2024.
